Which is more important as a female entrepreneur in late 20s: Career or marriage?

The option of choosing between a career and marriage for a promising businesswoman is not an easy one to make. Personal ambitions and societal expectations are important factors to consider in making such a difficult decision, especially if the woman is in her late 20s. This situation inspired our topic today. NAFEESAH SOLIU assisted in sourcing responses to this topic.

If you are in your 20s, make sure you focus on having a career. In your life, the most important thing is to become financially independent. Career and education are much more important than a relationship. If you possess a little self-esteem, it would be difficult for you to live like a slave. Staying with your spouse or parents is not easy if you depend on them for every need. Be practical and focus on your career. Life does not go only with emotions. There comes a time in everyone’s life when they need to showcase themselves as independent.

Marriage is the best for ladies in their late 20s. After your 30s, there would be a problem in choosing the right husband. Your career would be assisted by an understandable husband.

Marriage first. For a cultured woman, marriage should come first as time depends on this to take care of the family while a career could be pursued at a later stage in life

Being a woman in her late 20s, who has a passion for career growth, I would say career and marriage are two things that could happen simultaneously, given that one has a supportive partner. I believe that the former does not necessarily have to wait for the latter, and vice versa. Although, in my own opinion, what brings fear to the mind of ladies within this age bracket is the fact that once one is married, having kids should be next on the checklist and this could pose as a hindrance to one’s career. But, I believe this should not be a problem because women are natural multitaskers.

This is one of the major challenges of not only promising female entrepreneurs but also career-focused females. Being a successful entrepreneur is not to compete with my husband — it is to build our family. Why not focus on your career building and success before marriage? Marriage is an achievement and career success is an achievement too. Financial stability is a criterion for marriage. If possible, both could be handled without jettisoning one for another. Men love successful women. They appreciate women of value and not just a liability.

I would say marriage — marriage in the sense that, firstly she is a career woman, an entrepreneur who runs her own business by herself. So, what a female in her late 20s should be thinking of at the moment is how she is going to settle down in her husband’s house and have children on time before she reaches menopause.

Balancing career and marriage is a unique challenge. So, as a promising female entrepreneur in my late 20s, I am focusing on nurturing my business aspirations. I believe that by dedicating my energy to my career right now, I could lay a solid foundation for both personal and professional success. Marriage is an important aspect of life, but I am currently prioritising my entrepreneurial journey.

It is tough to say which is more important. They both play critical roles in our lives and could oftentimes be intertwined. For example, one’s choice of career can affect their desirability as a potential spouse. So it is hard to make a definitive statement about which is more important. However, if we are forced to choose one over the other, then I would probably have to go with a career. A person’s career is likely to have a bigger impact on their overall happiness and satisfaction in life than their relationship status. Of course, there are many happy and fulfilled married people out there. But being single does not necessarily mean you are doomed to a life of misery.

Marriage to the right spouse would support your career more than a career that may not give you time for marriage.

 

Faith Danjuma

Both are important. Marriage for a lady should not take long, and being financially dependent too is equally important. For a lady in her 20s, it is expected that she already has something doing to be able to, at least, get some things on her own. However, she should also have marriage in mind, like someone she intends to marry. I feel like both are mutually exclusive.

 

Olayinka Olorunsogo

Both are important. I am an ambitious woman, and I am focused on achieving lofty heights in my career early. At the same time, marriage is important to me not only because of the societal expectations and medical benefits of getting married early but also because I also want to get done with the obligations of parenting kids on time.

 

Modupe Abayomi

The most important thing to consider as a promising female entrepreneur in late her 20s is career. Marriage could then come in when the career is well established. Career would determine how a woman would enjoy her home because, in Nigeria today, women no longer depend on a man to provide for their needs. A woman should be financially independent to avoid ‘see finish’ in marriage. I would not advise any lady in her late 20s to choose marriage over a career. Marriage would demand your money and time. Why then take career over marriage? Age should not be a determinant of when to get married. Some ignore careers for marriage because they feel they are getting old. A career would give you that fulfilment and joy you want in your marriage. So, I would choose a career over marriage one million times.

 

Enitan Ogunmola

As a promising female entrepreneur in my late 20s, my focus and priority right now are on building my career. I believe that establishing a strong foundation for my business would not only empower me but would also pave the way for greater opportunities in the future. Marriage is a personal choice that I would consider when the time is right. But, for now, my aspirations in the business world are my main focus.
